US News: Doyles Room is back in the market.

[Dave]

This is brilliant news! I just spoke with the affiliate department on the phone who confirmed that all US players would continue to be tracked to affiliates

If Party and Pokerroom did this I would retire tomorrow.

Seriously.

i think they are, but they didnt leave the market by choice, the network they were on stopped taking US players

This is good news for the industry, it chips away at the bad AP news, thats for sure

For anybody who didn't get the email, or just wants to read it.
Looks like we'll get at least some of our players back (highlighted in bold)

I wonder how Full Tilt and Doyles Room did the transferring player deal. If they sold the players at a set price I doubt any players will get an email saying that DR is back open. Most are probably snug at FTP on rakeback by now.

If DR basically became a big affiliate when they transferred players to FTP my guess is players will get an email and we'll get some of our players back.

Anyone know how all that worked out? Either way, I guess its better than nothing but I wouldn't think too many players will jump back to DR. We'll see, hopefully they do.

HS, I would have thought the same thing about the Full Tilt deal but apparently Doyle's Room plans to e-mail US players on Friday and welcome them back. At least that's what the affiliate representative said when I questioned him about it a half-dozen times.

He explained that players would receive a link to the Microgaming software and could use their old login information with a new alias.

What did Full Tilt pay for if it wasn't for the complete player rights? I don't really care as long as I get my players back.
